Perfect family film

habejr

When I went into sky high, I wasn't expecting much. I only agreed to go because Bruce Campbell, a personal hero, was in the trailer. I was beyond surprised with the quality of the picture. Not only is Sky High chock full of innocent adult innuendos (much like the first Shrek), but even the kids jokes are funny. What adds to it is the endless list of very appropriate cameos, including two Kids In The Hall stars, and the fore-mentioned, Bruce Campbell. As mom and dad, Kelly Preston and Kurt Russel are hysterical. They capture the cheesy comic book attitude perfectly. As Layla, the best friend, the stunningly beautiful Danniel Panabaker gives an impressive performance. Michael Angarano plays the lead, Will Stronghold. While his performance is lacking on the believable side, his facial features and natural look lend itself to the character. All in all, Sky High is corny, cheesy, campy, and ultimately one of the most enjoyable films ever made.
